  1. @Gill Welcome to the forum Could you please let us know which sync service you're using? Could you also check that your preferences are set to always be stored offline if you're using a sync service that can offload preferences to be online-only? More details on this here: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/advanced/sync/#always-offline We can take it from there to help you work out why Alfred can't make certain preference changes.
  2. @MINT There seem to be two aspects to your issue; First, a lag or delay when searching, and second, a possible permissions issue where knowledge isn't remembered for your previous searches. Tackling the lag issue first; Having taken a look at your search scope, the first thing I would suggest is to take out any external volume out of the default search scope (at least for now) to establish whether a secondary drive that is slow to respond is part of the issue. Next, I can see you're on an older Sonoma update, so I would recommend updating to the latest (14.4.1) Once you've done this, could you please search and let me know if you're still experiencing any lag?
  3. @MINT Given you've already rebuild the Spotlight index, could you please provide the output from the File Troubleshooter for a few files you're having difficulties finding? This will help work out what's happening on your Mac. To do this, open Alfred 5's preferences to the Help tab > Troubleshooting > Run troubleshooting... then drag in a few files you're having issues with, and paste the output in your reply here. Could you please provide your Diagnostics file, which you can get by typing "?diagnostics" into Alfred? You can then email it to our info@ address so that I can take a look at your configuration. Alfred 5 is working great on Sonoma and M2 Macs, so it's likely an underlying index issue, so please provide some more details and I'll be happy to help you out. Cheers, Vero
  4. @lesormonde To summarise, taking a look at the Diagnostics you've sent in, I can see that Alfred is configured correctly so that the menu bar icon should be visible, so there is no misconfiguration on Alfred's side. If you restart your Mac with Alfred launching at startup, do you see the bowler hat at any point? Taking a look at the screenshot you sent in, there are two clocks (at the two ends of your menu bar) and quite a few icons, which indicates that you have multiple apps using menu bar space. As a final thought, I would suggest creating a new user account on your Mac temporarily, and launching Alfred with no other third-party apps configured. If the bowler hat appears normally on this new profile, it confirms that something in your main profile (a third-party app, most likely) is "managing" the menu bar for you.
  5. @lesormonde If you do check one of the boxes, quit Alfred's preferences and relaunch them, are changed preferences retained?
  6. @Zzyzx Oh The Alfred Remote counterpart app gets its features from Alfred on Mac; Every time new workflow objects are added to Alfred on your Mac, these can be triggered via the Remote app. As such, it doesn't need frequent updates in the App Store in order to take advantage of these features.
  7. @alvred This is why I suggested that you can ask about any workflow you're not certain about; Many workflows use simple objects, automation tasks (created by our team) and actions that are very transparent, so it's easy to see what they do in the canvas. If you have doubts about scripts in specific workflows, we (and the community) are always here to help demystify them.
  8. @lesormonde I've had a look at your Diagnostics, and the option to hide the menu bar hat isn't set. First, could you please open Appearance > Options and take a screenshot of your preferences? Share the screenshot in your reply so that I can see your settings. Next, if the box for "hide menu bar icon" is ticked, please quit the preferences and re-open them. Is the box still ticked? (This will allow us to check if your preferences are being correctly saved or whether there is a permission issue) Let me know how you get on.
  9. @alvred If you have any concerns about the security of workflows, you can opt to use workflows from Alfred Gallery only: https://alfred.app These workflows are reviewed and assessed before being added to the Gallery; You'll find more details about this here: https://alfred.app/security-and-privacy/ When a workflow has an update available, you'll see an icon (arrow pointing up) letting you know that an update is available. For the majority of workflows, the code can be read openly, so if you use a diff tool like Kaleidoscope, you can take a look at the code changes between versions. Workflows that have compiled apps within them are identified as such in the Gallery. If you have a question about a specific workflow, don't hesitate to ask in the relevant forum thread and we'll help you understand what a workflow does Cheers, Vero
  10. @Oneechan69 Alfred is keyboard-centric and designed for ultimate efficiency. Scrolling one item at a time is intentional, so that you're never left with a half-result showing, as that's not very useful. Are you using the mouse to scroll, as this is a secondary way to interact with Alfred? You'll still see scrolling one result at the time when using the mouse. When using Alfred, search (e.g. using your preferred keywords to filter to the relevant results), refine your search by typing until you see the result you want, and use the arrows or Cmd + the number to select the result.
  11. @lesormonde Do you use any third-party tools that manage your menu bar (e.g. Bartender) that could be hiding icons automatically? If you're not using one of these apps, could you please provide your Diagnostics file, which you can get by typing "?diagnostics" into Alfred? You can then email it to our info@ address so that I can take a look at your preferences.
  12. @Zach N Could you please let me know if and how you're syncing your preferences? This is most likely an issue caused by the preferences being synced in such a way that Alfred doesn't have instant and ongoing access to the preferences. If you're using iCloud, ensure that Optimised Storage is disabled so that the preferences are always available to Alfred. If the issue persists, please follow the steps I provided to this user, where you move Alfred out of your sync location temporarily to check whether the behaviour improves outside of iCloud: Let me know how you get on
  13. @Nikos Alfred will ignore any copied content that is marked as ConcealedType by the source. First, check your browser plugin's preferences in case you can check a box to tell it to mark its content as Concealed (which is highly relevant for a password plugin). Next, make a suggestion to the plugin creator if that's not an option, as it would be a sensible thing to add. In the meantime, you can tell Alfred to ignore content from your browser as a whole, or manually delete entries from the clipboard with Fn + backspace.
